I think documenting one's Linux installation on a laptop for the
benefit of others is a good idea, but, please, not yet *another*
repository. We have two already. Also, a Fedora specific repository
would be a disservice because one can take data from a non-Fedora
write-up and adapt it to Fedora.

Please write it up and put it someplace where you can easily maintain
it, then list it on Linux on Laptops
(http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/) and TuxMobile
(http://tuxmobil.org/). That is what I have
done. http://www.charlescurley.com/Lenovo.R51.html

The Fedora wiki can help by pointing people to those two resources.

As for the package idea, it's intriguing. I'd like to see what the
packages look like. I suspect they will vary as the maintainers
vary. Perhaps the maintainers of the two existing repositories would
be interested in the package concept.
